Where to buy grade 8 bolts?
#22
I've checked all the sources on this post for the M12-1.25x30mm Grade 10.9. None of them have them. Does anyone know anywhere else to look? I can find this size in Grade 8. I didn't think that was strong enough though.
I even tried google and cant seem to come up with much

Just use the metric grade 8.8 if those metric grade 10.9 are too hard to find. I don't think Toyota uses any 10.9 bolts from the factory (maybe the head bolts or something).

Ok, I was just concerned that 8.8s wouldn't be strong enough for the brake caliper bolts. The ones I have on the truck now have the heads all knurled from the PO. I need to change them out. I've noticed that that most of the bolts Toyota used aren't that good. Living in the rust belt I have have to drill out many bolts on the undercarriage and hellicoil them. I try to replace the fastners with 10.9s as much as I can.

I order mine from Fastenal. Ace Hardware has a pretty good selection of coarse thread, but not so much in fine thread.
That same size is also used for the CV's, the crossmembers, and the diff-to-mount connection - it's good to have some spares!
Be sure to use anit-seize or loctite to keep the salt out of the threads!
